SMQKE: BRICS, XRP, Quant and the Case for the Biggest Alt Season Yet

Geopolitical fragmentation, a shifting monetary order and the rise of AI are not slowing blockchain adoption down. They are speeding it up. SMQKE joins AllInCrypto to make that case, tracing a line from BRICS payments outside SWIFT to the ISO 20022 altcoins expected to lead the next wave. • BRICS building a payment network outside SWIFT, India pushing back on Chinese CBDC dominance, and why a fragmenting world needs a neutral, trustless layer • XRP compared with Keynes' Bancor, and the argument that XRP and XLM replace the settlement system that distributes the dollar rather than the dollar itself • What WisdomTree, EY, the IMF and Coinbase material say about tokenization on Stellar and how flow-driven payment assets accrue value • The Clearing House, founded in 1853, picking Quant to power its on-chain tokenized deposit network, and why 2027 is framed as the year everything scales up • Agentic finance, Hedera as a trust layer for verified AI training data, and ISO 20022 as infrastructure for agentic payments • Eight ISO-compliant networks, XRP, XLM, XDC, HBAR, Algorand, IOTA, Quant and Cardano, what this means for Bitcoin, and why SMQKE expects the biggest alt season yet Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:07 BRICS and the CBDC Power Struggle 06:32 Bancor, Dollar and Stablecoins 11:18 XLM, Stellar and WisdomTree 18:47 How XRP and XLM Accrue Value 24:34 Quant and The Clearing House 30:30 Why 2027 Is the Scale-Up Year 35:03 Agentic Finance and Hedera 44:35 What It Means for Bitcoin 47:46 ISO-Compliant Altcoins to Watch 54:40 The Biggest Alt Season Ever? 1:01:23 Where to Follow SMQKE

Crypto Is Coming For Your Bank! The Trillion-Dollar Financial Revolution | Sid Powell, Maple Finance

What if the biggest threat to traditional banking isn't Bitcoin, but stablecoins? In this episode of AllInCrypto, Rupert Pickering sits down with Sid Powell, CEO & Co-Founder of Maple Finance, to explore how cryptocurrency could fundamentally reshape the global financial system. With over $25 billion in loans originated, Maple is at the forefront of institutional crypto lending. But according to Sid, the biggest transformation may still be ahead. Could stablecoins force banks to offer better interest rates or risk losing customer deposits? Could crypto eventually absorb the private credit industry? And what happens when tens of trillions of dollars in real-world assets move onchain? In this episode, we explore: Why stablecoins could threaten traditional banking profits. The potential for a $1 trillion stablecoin market. How tokenization could unlock tens of trillions in assets. Why Bitcoin is becoming increasingly important as financial collateral. How DeFi could transform traditional lending and private credit. The rise of AI-powered finance and GPU-backed lending. Robinhood, Stripe and the accelerating adoption of blockchain by major financial institutions. Why the next phase of crypto adoption could be much bigger than expected. From Wall Street to decentralized finance, this conversation explores the forces that could transform how money moves, how assets are owned, and how the world accesses credit. Is traditional finance ready for what's coming?

Chainlink Quietly Secures 95% Of Tokenized Assets On Chain

What happens to global finance when countries stop trusting each other? This episode makes the case that every major crisis has pushed crypto forward, from the 2008 bank bailouts that led to Bitcoin to the COVID money printing that led to DeFi. Now the breakdown of trust between nations is putting crypto forward as a neutral system the world can transact on. Johann Eid is the Chief Business Officer at Chainlink. The conversation breaks down Chainlink as the 'invisible center' of crypto: CCIP for moving value across chains, data that underpins DeFi, and CRE for bringing legacy infrastructure like DTCC on chain. It covers why governments and financial institutions are racing to adopt crypto, and how stablecoins and DeFi open up finance to people without reliable access. It also explores why Chainlink complements layer 1s, why auditability makes crypto essential for trustworthy AI, and why billions of mostly private chains are coming.

VISA & MASTERCARD UNDER THREAT?! Ex-Ripple Advisor on XRP & Stablecoins

Could stablecoins make Visa and Mastercard obsolete? And could blockchain become the essential infrastructure behind AI agents and the next generation of global finance? Antony Welfare, former Ripple CBDC advisor who worked with more than 30 central banks and founder of TrustCBRC, joins AllInCrypto to explain why the real blockchain revolution goes far beyond cryptocurrency speculation. From the future of payments and the XRP Ledger to tokenization, AI agents and institutional adoption, this conversation explores how blockchain could reshape the systems behind our everyday lives. Antony draws on his experience at Ripple, Oracle and DXC Technology to explain why legacy financial institutions face growing pressure to adapt, why stablecoins could dramatically reduce payment costs, and why public and private blockchains will likely coexist. The discussion also explores TrustCBRC, an AI-powered platform designed to evaluate real-world blockchain projects and issue verifiable certificates using the XRP Ledger.

Apex Crypto Insights on Quant: The Operating System Linking Old Finance to Blockchain

When a clearing system that handles about two trillion dollars a day picks its blockchain operating system, what does that mean for the token behind it? After recent announcements pushed QNT from about $61 to about $350, this conversation asks whether Quant is the layer that lets the old financial world merge with the new one. Apex Crypto Insights joins AllInCrypto to break down the Quant Network thesis. The conversation covers the sandboxes said to use Quant, from the ECB digital euro to Project Rosalind, and why license fees owed only once projects go live could lock up QNT. It moves through the three-layer model for new money, the claim that most CBDCs run on private versions of the XRP Ledger, and a theory about Satoshi. Then come QNT valuation scenarios set against Solana, Ethereum and Bitcoin, a look at Bretton Woods, the Triffin dilemma and XRP as a neutral bridge asset, and a closing take on Chainlink versus Quant and the outlook for 2027.

Geoffrey Kendrick (Standard Chartered): The Bitcoin Low Is In, and $500K by 2030 Is Conservative

What happens when the US has to roll over its debt with 10-year yields above 5%? For Geoffrey Kendrick, that pressure is part of the Bitcoin case, and part of why he argues crypto is back and the low is in. The bigger shift may sit underneath Bitcoin: stablecoins, tokenization and protocols whose fees keep growing while their tokens stay cheap. Geoffrey Kendrick is Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered. The conversation covers why Geoffrey believes crypto has bottomed, and how US debt, Treasury intervention and the Fed shape the Bitcoin case. It then turns to stablecoins, where transactions doubled while supply stalled at about $300 billion, and why that is a massive use case for Ethereum and for protocols like Uniswap, Aave, Morpho, Chainlink and Arbitrum. It also covers the SEC exemption for tokenized US equities and why AI agents will need blockchain rails. It closes with price targets to 2030 and why Bitcoin dominance could edge lower as crypto moves from speculation to revenue.

Steven Goldfeder: How Arbitrum Went From Professor Coin to Robinhood Chain and Institutional Markets

What if TPS is the wrong way to measure a blockchain's scale? Arbitrum began as a Princeton research project nicknamed the "Professor Coin," and today Robinhood runs its own chain on the Arbitrum stack. So why does market sentiment still lag behind what institutions are actually building? Steven Goldfeder is the co-founder and CEO of Offchain. The conversation follows Arbitrum from its academic roots at Princeton to a platform that runs from Arbitrum One to custom chains like Robinhood Chain. It covers the license that sends 10% of on-chain revenue from chains not settling on Arbitrum One to the Arbitrum DAO, why perps and DeFi took off on Arbitrum One, and why gas per second says more than TPS. It also covers Web2-style privacy for institutions, the gap between market sentiment and institutional adoption, and why US crypto laws need to be made durable.

Can Solana Power the Future of Finance? | Nick Almond, Jito Foundation

Could Solana become the foundation of a new financial system — one capable of competing with Nasdaq and bringing global capital markets on-chain? Nick Almond, Head of Governance at the Jito Foundation and co-author of the Solana Constitution, joins Rupert Pickering on AllInCrypto to explore Solana’s future, Jito’s growing role in the ecosystem, and the changing economics of cryptocurrency. Nick explains why Solana is moving beyond memecoins towards becoming serious financial infrastructure, how Jito is building the network’s market layer through JitoSOL, BAM and JTX, and why institutional adoption depends on more than just transaction speed. The conversation also covers SOL staking and inflation, JTO token economics, MEV and sandwich attacks, decentralized governance, and the potential convergence of AI and blockchain. Can Solana become the backbone of 24/7 global finance and what role will Jito play in building it? Join us for a conversation about the future of crypto, capital markets and digital finance.

What 16 Major Banks Really Think About Crypto & Tokenization | Anthony Ralphs & Chris Ostrowski

What do 16 major investment banks really think about crypto and tokenization? Rupert Pickering is joined by Anthony Ralphs, Founder of Nova Modus and formerly at Ripple, and Chris Ostrowski, Founder & CEO of SODA, to explore what banks actually want from blockchain and why adoption at scale remains so difficult. Drawing on SODA’s research with 16 major investment banks, we discuss the real-world potential of tokenized collateral, intraday repo and cross-border payments, alongside the legacy systems holding traditional finance back. We also explore public vs private blockchains, SODA’s work with MIT on interoperability standards, and whether crypto-native companies could gain an advantage over traditional financial institutions. A conversation about what it will really take for tokenization to transform global finance.

Algorand’s New CEO on AI, Quantum Security & What Comes Next

William Herkelrath, the new CEO of Algorand, joins AllInCrypto for an exclusive conversation on the future of the network and the broader direction of crypto. We discuss why security could become one of Algorand’s biggest opportunities, how AI may represent a more immediate cybersecurity threat than quantum computing, and why post-quantum infrastructure could become increasingly important across Web3. William also shares his thoughts on institutional tokenization, stablecoins, enterprise adoption, crypto maximalism, validator economics, product-market fit and Algorand’s strategy for creating more real-world value. We also explore why he believes blockchain adoption may already be much further along than many people think and what success could look like for Algorand heading into 2027. A wide-ranging discussion on AI, security, tokenization and the next chapter for Algorand. #algorand #algo #crypto #blockchain #web3 #ai
